Claims (7)

  1. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem zur Geräuschreduzierung, wobei das aktive Geräuschunterdrückungssystem aufweist:
    ein Mikrofon (12) eines ersten Bereichs, das ein in einem ersten Bereich angeordnetes Mikrofon ist;
    einen Lautsprecher (21) eines zweiten Bereichs, der ein Lautsprecher ist, der einen Ton an einen zweiten Bereich ausgibt;
    ein Mikrofon (22) des zweiten Bereichs, das ein in dem zweiten Bereich angeordnetes Mikrofon ist;
    eine Tonquellenvorrichtung (23) des zweiten Bereichs, die eine Tonquellenvorrichtung ist, die dazu ausgelegt ist, einen von dem Lautsprecher (21) des zweiten Bereichs ausgegebenen Ton auszugeben;
    einen ersten Addierer (34), der dazu ausgelegt ist, eine Ausgabe des Mikrofons (12) des ersten Bereichs und eine Ausgabe der Tonquellenvorrichtung (23) des zweiten Bereichs zu addieren;
    ein adaptives Echounterdrückungsfilter (33), das dazu ausgelegt ist, eine Ausgabe des ersten Addierers (34) als eine Eingabe zu empfangen;
    einen dritten Addierer (36), der dazu ausgelegt ist, eine Ausgabe des adaptiven Echounterdrückungsfilters (33) von einer Ausgabe des Mikrofons (22) des zweiten Bereichs zu subtrahieren,
    wobei das adaptive Echounterdrückungsfilter (33) dazu ausgelegt ist, einen Filterkoeffizienten derart zu aktualisieren, dass eine Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) als ein Fehler angesehen wird und der Fehler minimiert wird,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System ferner aufweist:
    ein adaptives Geräuschunterdrückungsfilter (31), das dazu ausgelegt ist, ein Geräuschsignal, das ein Geräusch für einen Benutzer in dem zweiten Bereich darstellt, als Eingabe zu empfangen;
    einen zweiten Addierer (35), der dazu ausgelegt ist, ein Signal, das durch Addieren der Ausgabe des Mikrofons (12) des ersten Bereichs, der Ausgabe der Tonquellenvorrichtung (23) des zweiten Bereichs und der Ausgabe des adaptiven Geräuschunterdrückungsfilters (31) erhalten wird, an den Lautsprecher des zweiten Bereichs auszugeben; und
    das adaptive Geräuschunterdrückungsfilter (31) dazu ausgelegt ist, einen Filterkoeffizienten derart zu aktualisieren, dass die Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) als ein Fehler angesehen wird und der Fehler minimiert wird.
  2. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1, das ferner aufweist:
    ein Sekundärwegreproduktionsfilter (32), das dazu ausgelegt ist, das Geräuschsignal als Eingabe zu empfangen, in dem eine Übertragungsfunktion von dem zweiten Lautsprecher (21) zu dem ersten Mikrofon (12) im Voraus eingestellt wird, wobei
    das adaptive Geräuschunterdrückungsfilter (31) dazu ausgelegt ist, den Filterkoeffizienten durch einen Filtered-X-LMS-Algorithmus zu aktualisieren, bei dem eine Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) als ein Fehler angesehen wird und eine Ausgabe des Sekundärwegreproduktionsfilters (32) als ein Referenzsignal angesehen wird.
  3. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, wobei
    das adaptive Echounterdrückungsfilter (33) dazu ausgelegt ist, den Filterkoeffizienten durch einen LMS-Algorithmus zu aktualisieren, bei dem eine Ausgabe des ersten Addierers (34) als ein Referenzsignal angesehen wird und eine Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) als ein Fehler angesehen wird.
  4. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1, 2 oder 3, das ferner aufweist:
    einen Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs, der dazu ausgelegt ist, Ton an den ersten Bereich auszugeben, in den die Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) eingegeben wird.
  5. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1, 2 oder 3, das ferner aufweist:
    einen Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs, der dazu ausgelegt ist, Ton an den ersten Bereich auszugeben; und
    eine Tonquellenvorrichtung (13) des ersten Bereichs, die eine Tonquellenvorrichtung ist, die dazu ausgelegt ist, eine von dem Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs ausgegebene Tonausgabe auszugeben, wobei
    das Geräuschsignal eine Ausgabe der Tonquellenvorrichtung (13) des ersten Bereichs ist.
  6. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1, 2 oder 3, das ferner aufweist:
    einen Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs, der dazu ausgelegt ist, Ton an den ersten Bereich auszugeben;
    eine Tonquellenvorrichtung (13) des ersten Bereichs, die eine Tonquellenvorrichtung ist, die dazu ausgelegt ist, eine von dem Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs ausgegebene Tonausgabe auszugeben; und
    einen vierten Addierer (37), der dazu ausgelegt ist, die Ausgabe der Tonquellenvorrichtung (13) des ersten Bereichs zu der Ausgabe des dritten Addierers (36) zu addieren und das Additionsergebnis an den Lautsprecher (11) des ersten Bereichs auszugeben, wobei
    das Geräuschsignal eine Ausgabe der Tonquellenvorrichtung (13) des ersten Bereichs ist.
  7. Aktives Geräuschunterdrückungssystem nach Anspruch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 oder 6, wobei
    das aktive Geräuschunterdrückungssystem in einem Auto installiert ist und
    der erste Bereich und der zweite Bereich unterschiedliche Bereiche in einem Fahrgastraum des Autos sind.
